Deathbots
Nintendo Entertainment System · 1990
About this game
The Mutech Corporation has created their Gamma Base on what used to be Alcatraz Island.
Their attempts at creating computer intelligence has backfired, as the AI they've created has taken over the computer systems and is threatening the world! Deep in the fortress is a gamma bomb, and your goal is to penetrate the fortress to destroy the bomb before it can be used.

But be careful, for many Deathbots are guarding the maze-like passageways leading to the bomb! Gameplay is from an overhead point of view; you'll need to find your way through the various passageways to reach the gamma bomb (located on the 8th level) and diffuse it.
In addition to doorways and walls, transporters can also be found in the maze.
These will instantly teleport you to a new location, and on many levels you will need to figure how to use them correctly to get past otherwise dead ends.
Different types of Deathbots guard the passages; and you'll need to use the various weapons you find lying about to get past them, before they destroy you.
You have a limited amount of energy.
Each time you are hit by enemy fire or by a Deathbot, your energy depletes.
Lose all of of your energy and a life is lost.
And of course, each level ends with a large boss Deathbot.
Good luck on your mission!
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Deathbots for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Deathbots to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1990.
